Upright (Reach-In) Refrigerators & Freezers – Turkey-Made Cold Storage for Hotels & Catering
❄️ Cold Storage That Holds Kitchens Together
Upright (Reach-In) Refrigerators & Freezers – Turkey-Made Cold Storage for Hotels & Catering
“Chef, the grill line was ready. But the fish spoiled in 8 hours. The upright freezer couldn’t keep stable temperature.” That was the complaint from a hotel kitchen in Zanzibar we audited during a turnkey kitchen project. Our field team observed this in multiple projects: when cold storage fails, kitchens collapse. Cooking is visible — but refrigeration is survival.
That’s why our Turkey-built upright refrigerators & freezers, manufactured in Istanbul, are designed for hotel kitchens, restaurant backlines, catering hubs, and ghost kitchens. Built for durability, certified for hygiene, adapted for BOQ and MEP compliance.
In global turnkey projects, we’ve also seen another truth: hotel refrigeration systems and catering cold storage units define the success of daily operations. Without reliable upright units, procurement managers face waste, consultants face failed audits, and chefs face guest complaints. Cold storage is not optional — it is central to ROI.

Why Upright Units Matter in Commercial & Industrial Kitchens
- Workflow speed: chefs grab trays directly at eye-level, no wasted motion.
- GN 2/1 capacity: fits the same pans used in hot lines, seamless flow.
- Durability: AISI 304 stainless steel interior & exterior — no rust, no odor.
- Energy efficiency: 80 mm polyurethane insulation keeps compressors efficient.
- Compliance: CE-certified, HACCP-ready for international audits. 👉 In industrial kitchens, upright cold storage bridges BOH prep and FOH service, while in hotel refrigeration systems it ensures safe buffet continuity.
